CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a decision that denied CIGA standing to seek reimbursement from Alaska National Insurance Company. CIGA argued it had standing to recover payments for non-covered claims and that previous rulings did not bar its petition. The Board rescinded the prior order, holding that CIGA's petition is analogous to a medical lien and that Alaska National remains responsible for claims even after a Compromise and Release if subsequent injuries contributed to the need for treatment. The matter was returned for further proceedings to determine if CIGA can prove its entitlement to reimbursement.
